Some things are best said in confidence. That’s the name of our new newsletter, too. In Confidence is where we’ll write down what we actually think about privacy, stablecoins, and confidential infrastructure. We started with Zcash’s new ETF, Ethereum’s mempool problem, and why Raycash wants to publish this in the first place. Read it on raycash.xyz or subscribe on Substack. Links are in the first reply.

Replying to @valerioHQ
@valerioHQ joined Zama to talk through Raycash updates, the open sourced confidential primitives, and Deployoor. Programmable confidentiality is the foundation. This is what building on it looks like. Full interview below
The Zama Protocol makes onchain confidentiality programmable. Confidential tokens keep balances and transfers encrypted. Builders can integrate these primitives into the existing DeFi stack, and extend them with new privacy features. @Raycashxyz is doing exactly that.

You wouldn't announce a trade to the room before making it. Yet that's what a public mempool does, every time. Finance figured this out decades ago. Dark pools, OTC desks, block trades. On-chain hasn't caught up.

The biggest opportunity in fintech today is using stablecoin virtual accounts + cards to run the Ramp playbook globally Ramp is valued at 32B and their entire business is US-based – a market where (1) dollars are the local currency and (2) most businesses already have some expense management software Outside of the US, there is a massive delta between demand and penetration of dollar business banking wrapped in software (expense management, AP/AR, ERP) It will be obvious in 5+ years that the killer use case for stablecoins was closing this delta at a speed and scale that wasn't possible before Most importantly, these platforms make for exceptional businesses Owning spend at the card layer is by far the most valuable layer of the stack as you clip interchange on every dollar spent. And once you're embedded into finance workflows, switching costs are incredibly high

Private by default. Self-custodial. Verifiable.
If you asked a stranger on the street to open their bank app, they'd think you're crazy. But that's effectively what it means to live and bank onchain today. "Onchain finance is going to become finance. Everything we do now in silos and black boxes called banks and exchanges will be completely onchain", in a way that is verifiable, self-custodial, and private by default. — Valerio Leo, Co-founder of @raycashxyz, on what needs to change. ⬇️

We are looking for the first 500 people to use Raycash in private beta. Not testers. Early members. People who understand why private, self-custodial money matters and want to be among the first to use it. If that is you, the waitlist is the place to start. Link in bio.

Your bank shields your financial life from the world. Your crypto wallet publishes it. Most people operate across both without thinking about the gap in between. That gap is not a setting. It is the architecture.

We’ve just launched the new brand for @raycashxyz. Raycash is a global money account powered by confidential stablecoins. Private. Self-custodial. Fiat in and out. As a team, we wanted the brand to reflect the strength of what we’re building. Now it does. Here’s how. 🧵
